I guess I'm the only one here who was not feeling this first episode at all. I dunno, maybe I've just been burned by the last few years. Knowing this will probably be the last time we will ever see Geats' bike, or the fact that we're going to be drowning in dozens of forms by episode 20.

Reiwa era Riders so far have really not impressed me that much outside of the first few episodes of Zero-One, and that show's momentum collapsed before the halfway mark. Geats, from what I can tell, doesn't look to be changing that trend. Toshihiko Sahashi's music, which is almost always a highlight of any series he's attached to, sounds rather muted from what I've heard so far. And the most interesting character of the lot was killed off before our main Rider even made his appearance.

I'll be surprised if I manage to stick with this weekly.
